RDA Policies provide a framework for running your group.  These policies must be taken and adopted by your group, where relevant.

All policies will be reviewed and updated on an annual basis.

Where possible RDA will aim to maintain an annual schedule of reviews and updates, however from time to time we may need to make more regular changes in response to changing legal requirements or where we have identified an urgent change is required, but we will then notify Groups of these changes.

Group Complaint Policy and Procedure (Coming soon)

We would always hope that disagreements could be settled between individuals involved where possible. If this is not possible, concerns regarding your experience at your local RDA Group should be made to the Group Chair in the first instance. If not resolved or if the compliant is directed against the Group Chair, complaints should be escalated to the County or Regional Chair.
